TL;DR: The results show that the nucleation and growth of hydroxyapatite needle-like crystals with hexagonal symmetry occurred only on titanium substrates both chemically and thermally treated, demonstrating that only a particular titanium surface treatment can effectively induce the apatite nucleation under hydrothermal conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface modification of a Ti-15Mo alloy via plasma electrolytic oxidation is reported, and the surface morphology of the sample surface did not change during alloy oxidation at lower voltages.

TL;DR: A facile hydrothermal process in the presence of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and monoethanolamine is reported on to obtain various forms of calcium phosphates, able to selectively synthesize monetite plate-like microcrystals as well as hydroxyapatite plates and nanofibers by simply varying the concentration of monoeth ethanolamine.

TL;DR: The concentration of powder added to the solution changed the chemical composition and morphology of PEO coatings on the Ti-15Mo alloy surface, and calcium and phosphorous compounds were detected in the coatings formed on the substrate by the PEO process at 300V.

TL;DR: The coatings show improved bioactivity in comparison with pure HAp after 4 days of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), and the responses of human osteoblast-like cells cultured onto the synthesized materials provide evidence that HAp-SiO2 composites exhibit good biocompatibility.
